- From "man openwin":
-
- DISPLAY
- By default this is ":0" meaning this xnews server is
- the first (zero based) one running on this machine. If
- you need to run more than one server on a given
- machine, use the "-display" option.
-
- The man pages are a bit fuzzy on this. But you *can* use the -display
- option with openwin just like that used by the clients.
